Greetings Tian and welcome to the forum!

It looks to me that your apt-get got sourceforge's web page instead of redirecting to the file itself!
So my advice is to download the .deb files by hand from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/foam/files/foam/1.7.0/
And double clicking on the two of them after being downloaded. Ubuntu's Debian Package GUI will open it and give you the opportunity to install it!

And you only need to download the i386 packages, but I think you already know that :)

Best regards,
Bruno
